About a year ago, a couple with 3 children moved into the apartment next door to me.I never heard any noise from the children, but the parents were always 1 them, in a frightening way.We met often in the hallway when we were coming or going.I always spoke, but the only answer I ever got was a hello from the 4-year-old girl.
I usually go out for breakfast and one day when I returned they were just coming from their apartment and the little girl was holding the door open for the others.I remained in the car doing unnecessary things 2 I wasn't in a hurry.The parents were telling her to get in the car immediately.I looked up and saw the little girl was still holding the door open, waiting for me.

The next day there was a knock on the door and it was the little girl and her father.She was so proud of her bear and thanked me like I had never been thanked before.The mother and father both thanked me.

Last night we had about four inches of snow.I looked out at my car and wondered how I was going to keep my doctor's appointment.
When I opened the outside door, there was my car with all the snow cleaned.I can't express how I felt at that moment.The man next door was the only person I knew in the whole building, so when I saw him the next day.I asked him if he was the good man that cleaned my snow.He said 5 .He wanted to but his wife said she wanted to do it.
Isn't it amazing how a 4-year-old girl can change so many things for the better? My guardian angel(守护天使)says that good things usually come from 6 .
